Michel Foucault, Nietzsche, la généalogie, l’histoire, 1971 The critic thus has a double task, to show how knowledge and power work to constitute a […] systematic way of ordering the world with its own „conditions of acceptability of a system“, but also „to follow the breaking points which indicate its emergence“. So not only is it necessary to isolate and identify the peculiar nexus of power and knowledge that gives rise to the field of intelligible things, but also to track the way in which that field meets its breaking point, the moments of its discontinuities […]. […O]ne looks both for the conditions by which the object field is constituted, but also for the limits of those conditions, the moments where they point up their contingency and their transformability.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Duterte, Kant, and Philosophy
    PHAVISMINDA Journal Volume 16 & 17 (May 2018): 61-96. DUTERTE, KANT, AND PHILOSOPHY Raymun J. Festin, SVD Christ the King Mission Seminary-Quezon City Preliminary Remarks: The Ethical Question of Extra-Judicial Killing(s) In a stimulating essay entitled “Why President Duterte Could be Correct [sic],” Bro. Romualdo Abulad, SVD expatiates on one burning political and moral issue currently raging in contemporary Philippine history.1 The main burden of Abulad’s short treatise revolves around the intriguing philosophical-ethical question whether the specter of extra-judicial killings (hereafter EJKs) allegedly being perpetrated by Duterte’s government in its brutal campaign on illegal drugs can be morally justified or philosophically defended. Abulad—a star professor who teaches philosophy at Christ the King Mission Seminary and the University of Sto. Tomás (UST)—is arguably styled as “the most prominent Kantian scholar” in this unhappy land of ours.2 Indeed, his philosophical thoughts and locutions are unquestionably carved from the frozen cube of Kantianism. For Abulad, Immanuel Kant is to philosophy what Magnus Carlsen is to chess—the supreme virtuoso of metaphysical lucubration, the finest connoisseur of what Plato once wistfully described as that “dear delight,” the feast of the gods (philosophy). The fascination of Abulad’s treatise chiefly owes itself to the uncanny way in which he unfolds his thesis and builds up his arguments. He does not bare the body of his unspoken assumptions in a direct and pointed manner. (The title of his essay which is framed as a rhetorical question bears out this 62 R. FESTIN ________________________________________________________________________________ observation.) Nor does he deploy the conventional weapons of persuasion in advancing his ideas and insights.

THE BELLS OF BALANGIGA Reflection and Introspection A Living Essay by Dan McKinnon “Tell me a fact, and I’ll learn. Tell me a truth, and I’ll believe. But tell me a story, and it will live in my heart forever.” Foreword In 1998 retired U. S. Air Force Colonel Gerald M. Adams published a booklet, “The Bells of Balangiga”. It was printed in Cheyenne, Wyoming and described the history of two bells taken from the ruble of a burned church belfry in the Philippines and brought to Fort D. A. Russell in 1904. Today they reside on F. E. Warren Air Force Base in a brick wall structure on Trophy Park, a grassy triangle near historic officers’ quarters. Gerry Adams enjoyed local history, wrote first about the bells for the Annals of Wyoming in 1987, and authored other historical articles.
